[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu on dual processor

[Steve Smith]

Hi all

I'm trying to boot a Dapper disc as a live CD on a dual PIII 800
Compaq ProLiant ML350.  It throws up:

[4294669.909000] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC

If I boot with notsc it gets past that and after "Configuring some
drivers..." for some time it lands me at a screen with nothing but a
blinking cursor and that's as far as it gets.  Anyone know how to get
it going?

Steve :)
